Moodle courses may not map 1 to 1 with any other systems ... if Angel don't support Moodle directly already then it may just be best to copy of any data in as raw a format as you can get and rebuild the course using Moodle tools.

I would try an IMS Content Packaging export first. ANGEL is very good about importing those files; one would hope that they're good about exporting as well. Likewise, I believe that Moodle's import capability is pretty good. As always, you'll probably have to go back in and massage the import to take best advantage of the particular LMS (in this case Moodle).

I'm having trouble importing an Angel IMS package into Moodle and was wondering if anyone had an example of an Angel IMS zip file or imsmanifest.xml that I could use to compare mine? My Angel courses are pretty simple - just a bunch of folder and link objects. A colleague of mine has the specs on versions of Angel and Moodle, along with the Moodle setup info, so I don't have that handy, but can provide if if needed. I think my problems are more content than process related at this poit.

Clark - This sounds like a nice feature request in CONTRIB. I'm not sure who might be willing/able to work on it but it would be a great tool to have. I guess the first question to answer is in what format does Angel backup the data. Once we have that we can start working on translating things into Moodle. Let's keep this discussion going to see what matches up easily and identify what might be lost or need to be mapped to something similar. I have very little familiarity with Angel but I am confident that working together as a community we could come up with at least a rudimentary import tool. Peace - Anthony

In the spirit of shameless self-promotion, I thought I'd mention here that my ANGEL-to-Moodle conversion program (rumoured at the SUNY CIT 2010 conference) has landed a home of its own. It'll batch process a mixture of ANGEL 7.3 and 7.4 archives and return Moodle 1.98 backup files. It'll also fix many of the ANGEL-IMS-CC issues that many people have run up against.
